Sorry to show the same scene for the Nth time: it has become a test subject for me. Here I have used an incident meter in the shadows, and given a much longer exposure than in the past. I like the results.

Not totally satisfied with the composition - couldn't get the octopus to stay put. (It kept slouching into one big blob.)

I like your idea and lighting. Reminds me of old dutch vanitas paintings. The clam (or whatever it is) on the right looks a little lonely and yes, the octopus doesn't seem to enjoy the sitting. Just thinking out loud, may be fixing it into shape and putting it in the freezer for awhile may help? Or did it serve as dinner already...?

Peter: Thanks for the thoughts... your idea is a good one. I hadn't thought about freezing it into shape! I still have it (in my freezer.) I will have to thaw it out, try to prop it into an interesting shape and then freeze it again. Thanks for the idea - I'll give it a try.

Well.. at least skull was staying where it was put.. :P

(try to shoot for side reflection next time you do any kind of glass stuff.. it will look better and give shape definition)
